F1The first generation: poodle x Labrador
These labradoodles do not have a consistent coat or energy level.
F1B - This the result of a first generation labradoodle bred to a poodle. Because this results in a ¾ poodle cross, the dog may look more like a poodle. The coat is also variable in this generation as well.
F2 - The parents for this dog are BOTH F1's. There is not a lot of consistency between the puppies of the same litter. There may be more poodle-looking ones, and more Labrador looking ones. Their coats may be more hair like, or poodle like, depending on the puppy.
F2B, F3 and beyond - Generally stated, the further from the original parents, the more consistent the coats, personality and body type, the dog exemplifies in accordance with the breed standard.
Mulit-Generation, or Mulit-Gen. - are labradoodles that be have been bred back to other labradoodles. They are said to have "multiple generations in the background", thus the term Mulit-Gen is used.
